Not sure what to say?

Alex Faneros, Bob Laws and Dwight Petty in band practice at Bob's house.

Alex Faneros, Bob Laws, Dwight Petty but I don't recall the one playing the drums.

Just thinking about Dwight and found a couple of pictures of Dwight back in the mid-1980s when he was pretty young (he must have been around 30 at the time). He and my father Bob Laws loved to play together and they were both very good with their guitars! Dad passed away 5 months before Dwight did, and I can only hope they're still jamming up a storm upstairs!

This was taken at my birthday party 2 years ago.

Dwight and I shared many of the same spiritual beliefs and had many delightful conversations on that topic. It is not common to find someone with whom you share such a kinship, especially on a uniquely spiritual level. We gave each other two great gifts--he wrote a song about me and I taught him about how perspective is everything. I will never forget the mark Dwight has made in my life, or the genuine and talented man that he was. There certainly is not a better art museum guide in all...

WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU SEE YOU IN THE FUTURE MAYBE WILL PICK AGAIN.

Dwight and I shared the stage many times, and shared a lot of thoughts too. He was a man of intelligence and integrity, and those qualities even outshone his special musical gift.

I'll cherish his memory always

Once in a lifetime that special person walks into your life. Lucky was my soul mate. We told each other everything----our inner feelings. He was truly my best friend. Lately I reach for my phone (sometimes we talked 10 times a day), let out a sigh, wipe away a tear and think of what he would have told me. I so miss him!!!!!
He loved helping at Special Olmpics events, we loved going to Galveston, the museums, art shows, Astro games, he even took me to see Peter Pan at the theatre. ...
